I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

I didnt feel like hurting my computer. I just took a card and got all the gunk out around it. This video is entertaining though so imma subscribe and watch when I'm bored.

Thanks for the tutorial this worked. Wouldn’t recommend unplugging the battery to anyone wanting to tighten/loosen the retention screw for the trackpad, simply unscrew the battery screws and lift it gently up for access.

OMG, you're a lifesaver. I didn't take it apart I just used a tweezer to pull it up and boom it popped back into place. no need to go to a computer repair shop

Thanks, your video inspired me to do this thorough fix. It was actually much easier to fix on my HP - no glued joints, just screws. Turns out my battery was swollen and that was contributing to the problem. New battery ordered.

Thank you so much this helped me I was scared to open my laptop because I was afraid I’ll brake something (I didn’t ) and now my touchpad works.

Thank you for this video. It has helped me when I needed to find out what was wrong with my touchpad. Although, it was not the same problem it was similar in a way. It turns out that the one clickers at the opposite end of the touchpad had came off due to me applying to much pressure on the touchpad. So, thank you again for this video and it really had helped me out.

I had a lenovo, but thanks to you I learned that I just needed a clean. Saved myself the check up money thanks!

After doing everything Dell said and Microsoft said to do--to no avail, I came across your video. I simply cleaned out the bottom edge of the touchpad with my fingernail, and, guess what? The click works again! Thank you so much! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love the accent. Philly?

I have a question. I LOVE you easy to follow instructions. I have an HP Pavillion 15-cs1xxx laptop on which the touchpad is not functioning correctly. I live in a high dust area and opened it up a week ago and cleaned it out thoroughly and reassembled. Some features now function but others do not. The rocker/click function is not working; the long side of the touchpad near me is pushed all the way down and it doesn't rock/click. I cannot right click with it nor highlight. After watching your video I went ahead and opened it back up but went a little deeper as you did in your video and took the actual pad out and cleaned around the edges; I did find the small computer connection lock was not down so I corrected that and reassembled it. Same problem exists; no rocker/click function (long closest to me is still down) and cannot highlight or right click. Suggestions? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

thanks for for help, jamming a card into the side of the trackpad worked like a charm :)

Wow, this tutorial actually helped! While I was watching the video my touchpad just suddenly went back to its old position! (This is no joke, it just started working again)

[KKCMPG]

Followed this to fix a hp probook. Didn't even have to go as far as removing the touchpad, just slightly shifted if back into place and cleaned around the edges to get it working again. Thanks!

thanks you so much i actually used a knife to jam the food stuffs but it only made my touchpad look terrible .and my parents have strictly mad a desition to not go to the repair shop since guy there just scams me and as a part time editor and youtuber it was devastating but when i found your video i know i am not gonna get scammed by the repair shop [btw i haved reallly done anything i am feelling mixed emotions right now :] ]

[MikeNutile]

This video is great. I actually just kind of pushed my touchpad towards the screen and that gave it enough room to stop sticking!

[yourlyricsmelody]

Thank you so much! It's my first time and it works well without causing any problem.
